Consulting

1. Developing Effective Service Models for English Language Learners

In these consulting sessions, Beth will analyze the effectiveness of the school or district’s current service model and work with the school’s administration and ESL department to design a model to enhance achievement of English Language Learners.

2. Developing a Mother Tongue Programme in the IBMYP

Drawing on the work of Maurice Carder in his book Bilingualism in International Schools, the work of other professionals involved in the European Council on International Schools ESL and MT conference, and her own experience at the Bavarian International School, Beth will help IBMYP schools develop a Mother Tongue Programme to meet the needs of non-native English speakers.
